Is Donald Trump going to try and blow Iran off the face of the earth? Or is it, as Marco Rubio said the very same day, time to give peace a chance? Rubio stated the American principle war demand, that everything should return to the status quo ante that existed before the United States began the war. And who was the he?
And it was a he, a very tall he, who made himself $125 million overnight, without knowing that Axios moments later were going to tell the world that, for the seventh time, a peace deal between Iran and the United States was imminent. And this could be the last night of Keir Starmer's premiership.
It's all coming up on the mother of all talk shows. Stay tuned.

Well, let's get the unimportant stuff out of the way right now. It is election day in Britain, in Scotland, in Wales, in England tomorrow. And it may very well be that the wipeout of labor counselors is so extreme that Keir Starmer will not survive the shock. It was hitherto believed that because of the lack of a credible alternative, I mean, how credible do you have to be to be an alternative to Keir Starmer, that they might wait a month or two. But as the predictions of labor losses rise, people are now limbering up for what seems an inevitable leadership contest. It was thought labor would lose a thousand counselors. Then it was thought they'd lose seventeen hundred counselors. Now, it's believed that of their five thousand counselors, they may very well be about to lose more than two thousand of them. We must live in hope, and the British people, as an overwhelming majority, are desperately keen to see the back of the worst Prime Minister ever seen. Speaking about the back of Keir Starmer, we continue to be the only broadcasting outfit covering the burning of his back door. And there'll be more, I'm sure, of that in the course of the evening. Particularly when I talk to the one and only Kit Klarenberg, who takes, like me, a keen view of British intelligence matters and the politics that flow from them. But going on to the more important stuff, we'll learn from Professor Said Mohammed Marandi in just a few minutes' time, whether Axios, at the seventh time of asking, has got it right this time. Axios and its Israeli chief reporter, Barak Ravid, have seven times predicted, just as the markets were about to be influenced, that the war between the United States and Israel and Iran was about to come to a negotiated end. Is it seventh time lucky, is the question I'll be asking. Well, it's difficult to know, because when you're dealing with a certifiable lunatic in the White House, like Donald J. Trump, one cannot know if the last announcement he made will perhaps be diametrically opposite to the one he's about to make when he sits down. Let's review the last few days. And thank you, by the way, for the record audience number on the last two shows. 13.6 million people viewed all or part of the Mother of All talk shows. Let's review what's happened since. Well, Donald Trump gathered a group of school children, I know, it's dodgy these days, into the Oval Office, and he frightened them, terrified them. I know these people can't stop frightening children one way or another. He told them that Iran had been just two weeks away from killing them. That's right. That's what he said to children. Those very children, Iran was going to kill them. In two weeks' time would have had the means to and the intention of killing them. I don't know if I was one of their parents. Well, I wouldn't have let them go to see Donald Trump in the Oval Office either. But the parents of those children will have to deal with the fact that the President of the United States deliberately, as a matter of propaganda, political abuse of the office that he holds, told those children they were two weeks away from death and that therefore he had to act against Iran. Now, leave aside the propriety of frightening children for political purposes. Leave aside the fact that this is a monumental lie, even according to the United States' own governmental machine itself. Leave aside it directly contradicts Tulsi Gabbard, the national security advisor to the President, who said the precise opposite. Leave aside the fact that nobody, other than the fevered imagination of Donald Trump, believes that Iran was 2 weeks away from having a nuclear weapon and the intention of murdering all those children. He was projecting, of course, because the murderer of school children is him. The murderer of the school children, who were wiped out, eviscerated into particles of DNA on the very first day of the war, 28th of February, launched by him. Those children will never be forgotten, Donald, and you should go to your grave knowing that the Almighty that you may or may not believe in won't forget either. The killer of school children, women and men, is the very same government, epitomized by Marco Rubio, who asked the United Nations for help today. Imagine, the United States, which doesn't pay its United Nations bills, the United States, which excoriates the UN on every available opportunity, the United States, which vetoes every move for peace in the Middle East and elsewhere, the United States, which hates the United Nations, appealed to them for help today.
